mojo, w Doom Eternal has Denuvo DRM removed

That’s the point. Denuvo states that their goal is to prevent piracy the first couple of months while the game is hot, so people cave into buying more. Then after a certain amount of time they remove it because it’s not longer needed and will get cracked at that point.

ooterness,

“First couple of months”!? Doom Eternal was released March 2020.

That's how denuvo is supposed to be used, doesn't mean it is how publishers do use it. The moment the game is cracked denuvo stops being useful. Doom Eternal actually launched with a drm free exe as mistake in the first place so it's never been very useful :p

SatyrSack,

“mistake”

redcalcium,

Doom Eternal did release two major DLCs though, which might explain why they’re keeping denuvo for so long. I’m going to try the game again later to see if it’s running even smoother without denuvo.

query, (edited )

DRM is what keeps me from buying. And makes we want to wait until there are significant discounts, to not do too much to help them pay for the implementation of DRM.

TigrisMorte,

This is the way.
Plus you get to buy it at the sale they always have immediately after removing the performance killer.

Nioxic,

Denuvo has a high monthly cost (several thousand dollars, iirc)

This is why they always remove it eventually.

Heres an example

www.overclock3d.net/news/software/…/1

what the DRM’s typical pricing structure looks like. It calls for a flat protection fee of 126,000-140,000 Euros for the first 12 months, 2,000 Euros each month following the first 12 months, an additional 60,000€ flat fee in case the game sees more than 500,000 activations in 30 days, a 0.40€ surcharge on activations on the WeGame platform, and 10,000€ for each additional storefront (if the game is being sold in more than one online storefront platform).

Cool, maybe I’ll play it now.

TastyWheat,

It’s an absolute classic IMO.

Reminds me of Oldblivion. It was amazing being able to play that game with a Geforce 3.

Ricaz,

It’s just poorly made (performance wise), period.

Even modern hardware struggle with that crap. The old “But will it run Crysis?” meme is even more relevant for Oblivion

Naz, w Denuvo and DRM punish the consumer, legendary PC developer says

I bought Baldur’s Gate 3 on launch day, within the hour, not even realizing the GOG version was DRM-free. We could’ve pirated the game but all four of my friends bought it.

I’m good, but thanks.

Man, they really have to scrape the bottom of the barrel. Quest for Camelot is really bad. Like bad bad and not in a fun and campy way bad.

WarmSoda,

And people are giving them money for these.

Joy Mech Fight is rad, though. Simple, but really solid and underrated fighter from that era.

is there a similar kind of mod for fifa?

@Maestro@kbin.social avatar

Cool! I got this in the summer sale but haven't had time to play it yet (I finished Doom 2016 first). I didn't know it had Denuvo DRM. Is there an easy way to check my library for Denuvo games?

deadcream, w Starfield gets low-spec PC mod for those gaming on potatoes

Potatoes? You mean PCs with < $1000 GPUs?
I'm not touching Starfield until I can play it at 1440p 60 fps with decent graphics (yes, actual 1440p, not "720p upscaled to 1440p" bullshit. Neither that nor 30 fps are acceptable to me).

If Bethesda can't be bothered to fix performance and I will need to wait years until I decide to upgrade so be it - I have plenty of great games in my "to play" list. By that time the will also be lots of mods to choose from to make Starfield worth it.

BruceTwarzen,

It's crazy to me that they make the same game for almost 20 years but still can't make it work. The ai seems to get worse every game, computers get better and better but it still runs the same.

salton,

Just from a a couple of nights playing Starfield. The combat ai does seem more interesting then with enemies jumping off ledges to get to you etc but not but a whole heck of a lot. L

Hyperreality,

Wait a year for the modding community to finish it.

When I first played Fallout 4 years ago, it ran at 20fps in some parts of the map and on medium.

Playing it again now, modded to the max, ultra, higher res textures, 60fps everywhere.

Same pc.

deadcream,

That's the plan. I haven't actually properly played F4 yet either lol (tried years ago but dropped due to performance issues). Probably will do it soon after spending a month modding it.

Hyperreality,

Did that on skyrim.

Don't know how much free time you have, but I couldn't be bothered anymore for FO4 on nexus. I just downloaded one of the bigger/better collections and ignored/deactivated the creepier/boobier mods.

Already more than enough of a hassle to get that working, with vortex sometimes not installing stuff properly, pre-cleaning files, etc.

deadcream,

I just enjoy that stuff lol. I only stopped my last Skyrim playthrough because I kept updating my mods and adding new ones and at the one point it just broke all of my saves. I took it as a sign to move on to other games.

Hyperreality,

Same, but realistically once you start heading towards the 500 mods range, it's almost impossible to get it working reliably.

At one point I had 200+ mods on skyrim, and the mod cycles and before/after conflicts on vortex looked like mandelas. I did enjoy 'completing' the vortex mod manager game. That's when it's 3AM, you're fed up, you give up trying to figure what's wrong, and just click randomly and uninstall/reinstall mods until vortex shuts up, and it somehow just works. Bit like winning the lottery.

I’ve never played a Bethesda game at launch.

Or any game for that matter.

rmuk, w Peter Molyneux says he regrets over-promising his games

“But I promise that you’re going to be blown away by the promising I’ll be doing in the future. My promising will be authentic, intuitive, life-like and indistinguishable from the real thing. This is promising like you’ve never experienced before, and these are promises they will still sound assuring twenty years after they’re made. I’m so proud of the team for the work they’ve done on this and I’ve promised them a pay rise, holiday in Bora Bora and a blowjob from a $10000-a-night hooker with a mouthful of warm honey. That’s the kind of promises I’m talking about, promises that will change the way we think about promises and, if you have a moment, I’d like to make you some promises too…”

I’m wondering if this would help get a solid 60 outside of interiors/around loads of NPCs. Only my GPU doesn’t meet requirements, and it’s still playable. But is mostly 30-40’s unless I’m in a small interior or an interior with not many NPCs. The NPCs are more bound to CPU so I’m not sure if having lower res/filesize textures would help. I don’t think the VRAM is the problem.

sturmblast,

it will certainly help

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

It’s a little better. I’m pretty sure it’s gotta be the NPCs now. Video card is handling it all quite nicely, despite not having RTX or even DLSS support, but everywhere there are crowds it slows down by 20 fps. Currently just standing in the main road of Neon and it’s around 40-45, dropoing to 35 when I run, but get a solid 60 when no NPCs are visible by looking up at an animated billboard or something.

sturmblast,

what CPU do you have?

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

A Ryzen 5 3600x

sturmblast,

yeah you might want to maybe look at upgrading that that might give you the most benefit from what I understand

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

It’s literally the recommended AMD CPU for this game.

sturmblast,

that doesn’t mean a whole lot these days it seems
